AI Summary
This bill, titled the White House Open Data Act, requires the White House to maintain a publicly accessible website that includes a visitors log and salary and financial disclosure information for White House employees. The bill has several key provisions:
1. It requires the White House to publish on a publicly accessible website, within 90 days of enactment, the visitor records (including the name of each visitor, the name of each individual with whom the visitor met, and the purpose of the visit) for any location where the President or Vice President regularly conducts official business, updated every 30 days.
2. It also requires the publication of the annual salary of each White House employee, updated quarterly, and the most recent financial disclosure statements for each White House employee, updated annually.
3. The bill provides exceptions to the disclosure requirements, such as for information related to personal safety, national security, or personal visits that do not involve official or political business. However, the White House must still disclose the number of records withheld and post any excepted records if the exception no longer applies.
